Book excerpt: Of all the claims made by the proponents of the Dodd-Frank Act, the most important are that the Dodd-Frank Act ends “too big to fail” and that it protects the American taxpayer “by ending bailouts.”One component of intervention of Government to bolster the bank balance sheets during financial crisis in 2008 was the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). Although TARP may have saved the United States economy from a lengthy depression, it was perceived by many as a “bailout” of the banks whose own greed had precipitated the financial crisis. A number of institutions received TARP funds, but two - Citigroup and Bank of America - were identified as “systemically significant” and received additional equity infusions and other extraordinary aid from the government. There were significant concerns that the government's intervention created moral hazard and that risk taking of financial institutions would remain unchecked if the market believed that the government would intervene if necessary to prevent the failure of the largest financial institutions.On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed the massive Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank). But Dodd-Frank responds to TARP and attempts to change the phrase “too big to fail” to “too big, will fail”. Dodd-Frank created the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) as the new systemic risk regulator, with the authority to identify systemically significant institutions, subject them to additional prudential regulation by the Federal Reserve Board, and to mandate an orderly liquidation without the possibility of reorganization in the event they are not able to remain solvent on their own. Whether this new regime will ever be used and whether it will incentivize bank and nonbank financial institutions to reduce their size and complexity so they will not become subject to it, remain to be seen.
Download or read book Too Big to Fail written by Gary H. Stern and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2004-02-29 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The potential failure of a large bank presents vexing questions for policymakers. It poses significant risks to other financial institutions, to the financial system as a whole, and possibly to the economic and social order. Because of such fears, policymakers in many countries—developed and less developed, democratic and autocratic—respond by protecting bank creditors from all or some of the losses they otherwise would face. Failing banks are labeled "too big to fail" (or TBTF). This important new book examines the issues surrounding TBTF, explaining why it is a problem and discussing ways of dealing with it more effectively. Gary Stern and Ron Feldman, officers with the Federal Reserve, warn that not enough has been done to reduce creditors' expectations of TBTF protection. Many of the existing pledges and policies meant to convince creditors that they will bear market losses when large banks fail are not credible, resulting in significant net costs to the economy. The authors recommend that policymakers enact a series of reforms to reduce expectations of bailouts when large banks fail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The good, the bad, and the scary of Washington's attempt to reform Wall Street The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act is Washington's response to America's call for a new regulatory framework for the twenty-first century. In The New Financial Deal, author David Skeel offers an in-depth look at the new financial reforms and questions whether they will bring more effective regulation of contemporary finance or simply cement the partnership between government and the largest banks. Details the goals of the legislation, and reveals that how they are handled could dangerously distort American finance, making it more politically charged, less vibrant, and further removed from basic rule of law principles Provides an inside account of the legislative process Outlines the key components of the new law To understand what American financial life is likely to look like in five, ten, or twenty years, and how regulators will respond to the next crisis, we need to understand Dodd-Frank. The New Financial Deal provides that understanding, breaking down both what Dodd-Frank says and what it all means.

Book excerpt: Today's hearing will explore whether our largest financial institutions-I will start by giving an opening statement, so we will start the time now. Today's hearing will explore whether our largest financial institutions are still too big to fail. Despite passage of the Dodd-Frank Act and subsequent financial regulations, specifically, we are concerned about the ongoing perception that government bailouts remain an option for poorly managed financial firms.The bottom line is that 2,300 pages, or over that, Dodd-Frank was supposed to end too big to fail. As it turns out, Dodd-Frank has only reinforced the bailout culture, perpetuated the moral hazard of government intervention, and tipped the economic scales for a few at the expense of growth and competition.

Book excerpt: In his new book, "Bad History, Worse Policy: How a False Narrative about the Financial Crisis Led to the Dodd-Frank Act," (AEI Press) Wallison argues that the Dodd-Frank Act -- the Obama administration's sweeping financial regulation law -- will suppress economic growth for years to come. Based on his essays on financial services issues published between 2004 and 2012, Wallison shows that the act was based on a false and ideologically motivated narrative about the financial crisis." -- Provided by publisher.

Download or read book Making Failure Feasible written by Thomas H. Jackson and published by Hoover Press. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2012, building off work first published in 2010, the Resolution Project proposed that a new Chapter 14 be added to the Bankruptcy Code, exclusively designed to deal with the reorganization or liquidation of the nation's large financial institutions. In Making Failure Feasible, the contributors expand on their proposal to improve the prospect that our largest financial institutions—particularly with prebankruptcy planning—could be successfully reorganized or liquidated pursuant to the rule of law and, in doing so, both make resolution planning pursuant to Title I of Dodd-Frank more fruitful and make reliance on administrative proceedings pursuant to Title II of Dodd-Frank largely unnecessary. This book highlights the problems of dealing with large financial institutions in distress, and Chapter 14's responses to those twin issues. The contributors first outline the basic features of Chapter 14 and point to their continuation as well as additional features to ensure the quick resolution of large financial institutions that would not depend on government discretion and would mesh with emerging ideas about cross-border resolution. The remaining chapters provide the context for reform and show how Chapter 14, as envisioned in this book, would be a substantial advance on administrative-focused resolution procedures.
Download or read book Taming the Megabanks written by Arthur E. Wilmarth Jr and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Banks were allowed to enter securities markets and become universal banks during two periods in the past century - the 1920s and the late 1990s. Both times the ensuing unsustainable booms led to destructive busts - the Great Depression of the early 1930s and the Global Financial Crisis of2007-09. Both times, universal banks made high-risk loans and packaged them into securities that were sold as safe investments to poorly-informed investors. Both times, governments were forced to arrange costly bailouts.Congress passed the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 in response to the Great Depression. The Act broke up universal banks and established a decentralized financial system composed of three separate and independent sectors: banking, securities, and insurance. That system was stable and successful for overfour decades until the big-bank lobby persuaded regulators to open loopholes in Glass-Steagall during the 1980s and convinced Congress to repeal it in 1999.In Taming the Megabanks, Arthur Wilmarth, Jr. argues that we must separate banks from securities markets again to avoid another devastating financial crisis and ensure that our financial system serves Main Street business firms and consumers instead of Wall Street bankers and speculators. Wilmarth'scomprehensive and detailed analysis of the roles played by universal banks in the two worst financial catastrophes of the past century demonstrates that a new Glass-Steagall Act would make our financial system much more stable and less likely to produce boom-and-bust cycles. And giant universalbanks would no longer dominate our financial system or receive enormous subsidies.Congress did not adopt a new Glass-Steagall Act after the Global Financial Crisis. Instead, Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Act. Dodd-Frank's highly technical reforms tried to make banks safer but left the dangerous universal banking system in place. Universal banks continue to pose unacceptablerisks to financial stability and economic and social welfare. They exert far too much influence over our political and regulatory systems because of their immense size and their undeniable "too-big-to-fail" status.Taming the Megabanks forcefully makes the case for a a new Glass-Steagall Act to break up universal banks. A more decentralized and competitive system of independent banks and securities firms would not only provide better service to Main Street businesses and ordinary consumers but also bringstability to a volatile financial system.
